I've only checked distrowatch.com
distrowatch is worse than meaninless.

Fine, let's see it then:
"Ubuntu 18.04 LTS ‘Bionic Beaver‘, one of the most popular Ubuntu releases, will reach the end of the standard, five-year maintenance window for Long-Term Support (LTS) releases on 31 May 2023."
https://ubuntu.com//blog/18-04-end-of-standard-support
11 days more... I don't know what you 're sources are but it's definitely not June either, like you said
("It is supported until the end of June.")And besides... point remains.
-
@npro Ok I misrecalled, start rather than end. Though I see you are strategically ignoring this a couple of times in a row now.
And 20.04 and all derivatives is supported until April 2025!
-
Btw... I noticed the right click menu uses much smaller fonts with this snapshot. Is it known and registered?
-
@npro I noticed that too but I have not logged or investigated yet.
-
@Ruarí Cool, thanks.

-
@npro Really 3 years is too old?
P.S. Don't tell those poor Debian users they can't run it on the desktop either, as their stable version also has a 2.31 glibc.
P.P.S. Since you like Distrowatch stats I see the current top there is MX Linux, which also has a too old glibc, since … you guessed it, it is based on Debian Stable.

For newer software with new features? I suppose that is a rhetorical question.
Debian is not suitable for the Desktop either.
I only use Distrowatch to compare package versions and release dates, there's no credibility in its statistics and they say that.

Hey… that is what I said too!
-
@Ruarí actually no you said that it was worse than meaningless, meaning the whole of it
, while I speak only about statistics. I haven't tested it extensively for some years now, but when I did, the distrowatch package versions weren't different from those that repology.org and pkgs.org were reporting. -
@npro Oh and btw, most Ubuntu LTS releases always had an EOL in April, so distrowatch was pretty spot on on that except for 18.04 LTS which seems an exception by Canonical.
-
@npro No, since you mentioned DW relating to popularity I assumed you meant stats and that is what I was reacting to.

@Ruarí said in Upgrade to Chromium 114 – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 3023.3:
I suppose @ugly could run it and go all out… or maybe read it in a text editor and look at the list of deps and install each on a case by case basis.
I took a look at it in a text editor and made an educated guess on the package I would need to keep installing extra packages to a minimum. It turns out the last one I needed to install was
mesa-common-dev.So, if it helps, I needed to install
libevdev-dev,libnss3-dev,libcubs2-dev, andmesa-common-devas extra packages. But, there is a possibility that I had already installed some of the dev packages for other stuff I compiled in the past, so others might have to install more.Linux Mint 22 Cinnamon

@Ruarí I didn't quote DW for popularity but for the EOL date of Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, here is the part:
@npro said in Upgrade to Chromium 114 – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 3023.3:
I've only checked distrowatch.com There it stated 2023-04 .
-
@Ruarí But hey, we've given so much juice to this thread (
or should I call it spam) that many users will have much to read while having their morning coffee
- or ignore us both most probably... -

That does help! And to be 100% clear you managed to compile a working lib now?

Yes, I was able to run the
ninjacommand theinstallafterwards.Looks to be working on the test page: https://help.vivaldi.com/desktop/media/html5-proprietary-media-on-linux/
I did have it previously working by extracting from the arch repo. But I assume when I ran the install command after compiling, it would have overwritten it and it still works.
-
Yes it would but you can check it by running this
md5sum /opt/vivaldi-snapshot/libffmpeg.so.6.1
If the result is
7338e91dbae54a2f0575aef18b4b76e3then it is from the Arch package. If it is anything else, then it is your self compiled package.Also the Arch file is stripped, your self compiled one almost certainly is not, so you could also run
fileon the lib and look for this. -
